The R base is not "conservative." It is "Radical Right Wing." Period.

We must learn how to use effective language framing. So many people around here and everywhere say "conservative" referring to the RePUKElicans. These wingnuts are not conservative. George Will is conservative. Steve Schmidt is conservative. William Buckley was conservative. But these crazed Trump ghouls and the Fox News base of the TeaPublican Party are NOT "conservative."

Say "Radical Right Wing."

Call them "Right Wing Wingnuts."

Call them "Crazy Right Wingers."

Call them vomit-inducing "RePUKElicans."

You get the picture.

1. Been saying this forever.

There is nothing CONSERVATIVE about them.

'holding to traditional attitudes and values and cautious about change or innovation, typically in relation to politics or religion.'

Cracks me up how they bluster about taking the gov back by 2nd amendment rights. Ask Robert E. Lee and Hideki Tojo and Adolf Hitler just how well it worked out for them to take up arms against the US armed forces.
